Or is that a too simple look at it? <br /> <br />Anyway, thanks again for your swift reply. :wink:</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cupid</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:21 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">This is normal, your status on the Main is HIGH BIDDER, that means you won due to the Main server getting there first. <br /> <br />EBay does not allow you to bid the same amount again at a later time, so when the Mirror server came to place its' bid eBay told it that the bid was not allowed hence 'BID UNDER ASKING PRICE'. <br /> <br />If you have the same offset on both servers it is random which will get there first, it could just have easily happened the other way round.

And as always I received a nice email from Gixen about it. BUT: the email (and previous ones now that I think of it) says this: <br /> <br />Item: 120746771111 <br />Title: ART BLAKEY Cafe Bohemia BLUE NOTE ORIG Lex FLAT <br />Status (main): HIGH BIDDER <br />Status (mirror): BID UNDER ASKING PRICE <br />Your maximum bid: 100.00 <br />Current price: 62.01 <br /> <br />Now, since I won the auction, how should I read the "bid under asking price" part of this little Gixen overview? Can it be that I set my offset to 6 and mirror to 3 seconds (and is that a smart setting or not)? I mean, if I "bid under asking price", wouldn't that mean that I didn't meet the seller's reserve, which makes it impossible to win the auction? But I <span style="font-style: italic">did</span> win. <br /> <br />Apologies in advance if this question has been answered by you a kazillion times already, but I just couldn't find a satisfactory topic about this one. <br /> <br />Looking forward to hearing from you. <br /> <br />Saborcaracter.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
